I've been reading a lot of these comments lately and I will be upfront that I'm highly skeptical of any china arguments on the internet. But I can't help comment on what seems like a large increase in what reads from my perspective as threats e.g. you can't do anything don't fuck with it/us. 'what can you do about this'? I think a lot can be done (and personally more should be done) especially by my government and rebuilding the traditional coalitions Trump has discarded, up to including taking a much harder stand and possibly armed confrontation as a last resort, which seems to be the not so veiled thread of online HK/China discussions over the last few weeks e.g. 'China inflict a lot more pain'

> possibly armed confrontation as a last resort Please don't even think about starting a global armed war. We're all people here. I want to live.

  I dont want one either, my point is that seems to be the threat; it reads like a bully to me. Im going to keep picking on this kid you better mind your own business or face a beating

  Everybody wants to live, but some people don’t currently get to. Do you think they will ignore this option just so you can keep living your comfortable life?

    But what can we do? Invade China for what they're doing in their own city?

      Exert much harder economic pressure and rebuild coalitions Trump ignored, even at expense of our own economy in the short term. I've read on HN that CCP themselves has a report showing they need strong growth % to continue or face uprising from within, though I can't find a source so I don't know the truth to that #, though to me it feels like the correct step to take given what I feel are complete fundamental threats to Democracy and human rights world wide - yes in spit of problems we have in our own backyard.
